BBC NEWS FLASH: FEBRUARY 1942 - JAPANESE TROOPS ATTACK SINGAPORE!
^
"At 20:30 on 8 February, Australian machine gunners opened fire on vessels carrying 
the first wave of 4,000 troops from the 5th and 18th Japanese Divisions toward 
Singapore island."
^
"Fierce fighting raged all day, but eventually the increasing Japanese numbersand 
the superiority of their artillery, aircraft and military intelligencebegan to take 
their toll and breached the Australian defenses at many points along the line."
^ 
On February 10, Churchill ordered his commander, General Arthur Percival, to 
sacrifice Singapore, its population, and thousands of Commonwealth troops, in 
a vain grand political gesture:
^ 
"There must at this stage be no thought of saving the troops or sparing the population. 
The battle must be fought to the bitter end at all costs... Commanders and senior 
officers should die with their troops. The honour of the British Empire and of the 
British Army is at stake. I rely on you to show no mercy to weakness in any form ." 
^
The British have been at war for over two years now. The fall of Singapore will be 
the latest calamity to befall their Empire. As the leader of the Commonwealth can 
you turn its fortune around and lead your people to victory?
